This is why I don't buy organic products ...
 

The cat litter was used to absorb moisture in sealed barrels of nuclear waste at Los Alamos, home to the some of the world's finest scientists. Officials have said cat litter has long been used to pack waste because of its absorption and neutralizing qualities. It's commonly used, for example, by people to soak up oil spills in driveways. But Los Alamos switched from nonorganic to organic litter for packing waste in 2013, and the theory is that some kind of chemical reaction occurred between waste containing nitrate salts and the new litter. Officials said they are investigating who made the decision to make the switch and what process was followed.

I still lean towards fewer artificial chemicals on my fruit as opposed to more.

It would be interesting to know what product they used and if there was a government contract involved.  Was it Tidy Cat, Fresh Step or possibly Arm & Hammer's Multi-Cat?  I did notice that the box said it was approved for use in nuclear weapon test site facilities but I never gave it a lot of thought.

It's all part of their master plan.

So is organic kitty litter grown without pesticides then? I tried doing that and my kitty litter plants were attacked by aphids, the yield was low and the taste was definitely impacted.
